The most popular metal 3D printing technologies on the market include DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering), LMS (Laser Metal Sintering), and EBM (Electron Beam Melting). 3D printing is an ideal choice when other technologies cannot efficiently and simply produce complex, delicate parts.
Basic Concepts of Metal 3D Printing:
The core concept of metal 3D printing technology originated in the late 19th century in the United States, but it wasn't until the mid-1980s that it began to take shape. In 1986, American Charles Hull invented the 3D printer. China started researching 3D printing technology in 1991, and by around 2000, these processes began to transition from laboratory research to engineering and product development. Back then, it was known as Rapid Prototyping (RP), which is a physical model created before developing a sample. Now, it's also referred to as Rapid Manufacturing and Additive Manufacturing. However, for public understanding, this new technology is collectively termed 3D printing. 3D printing is a type of rapid prototyping that constructs three-dimensional objects by layer-by-layer "additive" printing, using digital model designs and materials like powdered metal or resin. Metal 3D printing is hailed as "the last century's ideas and technology, this century's market."
Metal 3D printing materials serve as a crucial material foundation for the development of 3D printing technology. To some extent, the advancement of materials determines the broader application of 3D printing. Currently, metal 3D printing materials mainly include engineering plastics, photosensitive resins, rubber-like materials, metals, and ceramic materials. In addition, colored plaster materials, artificial bone powder, cell biological raw materials, and sugar food materials are also applied in the field of metal 3D printing.
These raw materials for metal 3D printing are specifically developed for metal 3D printing equipment and processes, differing from common plastics, plaster, resins, etc. Their forms typically include powdered, filamentous, sheet-like, and liquid states. Generally, depending on the type of printing equipment and varying operational conditions, the particle size of the powdered metal 3D printing materials ranges from 1 to 100 μm, and to maintain good flowability, the powder is usually required to have high sphericity.
3D printing services are a digital, intelligent, low-cost, and short-cycle manufacturing technology that achieves the direct creation of complex 3D structures through simple, layer-by-layer material addition in a 2D format. It breaks through the theoretical limitations of traditional part forming and manufacturing technologies, theoretically not relying on traditional industrial infrastructure. Simply through "2D digital printing," it can directly fabricate high-performance 3D complex structures with any internal structure, external shape, and geometric dimensions.
Due to its transformative advantages over traditional forming manufacturing techniques, 3D printing technology has become a hot direction in current fields such as equipment manufacturing, structural design, and new materials. Metal 3D printing technology is an important branch of 3D printing, playing a significant role in the production of high-performance metal components.
Features of Metal 3D Printing:
High precision.
The precision of current metal 3D printing equipment can generally be controlled below 0.05mm.
2. Short lead time.
The mold-free 3D printing of metals significantly reduces the production time for models, often taking just a few hours, or even minutes, to complete a print.
3. customizable
Metal 3D printing has no limit on the number of models being printed; whether it's one or multiple, they can be produced at the same cost.
4. Variety of materials.
A metal 3D printing system can typically print various materials, and this diversity of materials can cater to the needs of different fields.
5. Cost is relatively low.
Although metal 3D printing systems and 3D printed metals are relatively expensive, they offer a lower cost for producing customized products.
